    I think their football team is pretty good.

    Bump this thread when Indiana sucks

    I didn’t mean to say IU has been a quality program since Bob Knight was fired. I wasn’t comparing IU to Louisville who has obviously been more successful for a long period of time. I’m saying let’s see how DeVries does in Bloomington. He brings a very, very different approach offensively, to...

    Bump this thread when Indiana sucks

    Nope. IU fans have hope Darian DeVries is the answer. He’s not a freaking weirdo like Clappy and he actually wants to load his teams up with shooters, which for some reason, Archie and Woody seems to have no interest in and DD runs an exciting offense to watch. Will he be successful? I don’t...

    Bump this thread when Indiana sucks

    I’m thinking he contacted the kid who didn’t decommit within 24 hours of DeVries being hired. Sisley’s still a Hoosier. Zrno’s rep sounds like a nut. He said they made numerous phone calls and texts to DeVries and none were returned….within the first 24 hours of DeVries accepting the job. Good...

    Bump this thread when Indiana sucks

    Darian DeVries was hired by IU on March 18th. Zrno decommitted on March 19th. So don’t you think “ghosted” is a bit of a stretch? DeVries hadn’t even had time to talk to any of the current players on IU’s roster about possibly remaining part of the team. It took him a few days to get in touch...

    That’s one weird situation. Zrno’s representative said they tried to contact DeVries numerous times and got no response from the new IU coach. The thing is, Zrno decommitted the day DeVries was hired so….um….weird.

    If Kentucky had gone almost 40 years without a title

    If IU fans were excited about Sweet 16’s, Clappy would still be coach….and he isn’t. It just so happens that after the moronic self-reporting and firing of Sampson, IU has made awful coaching hires. Awful. Even worse, Dusty May would have been IU’s coach last year if Woody would have done the...

    Wilkerson to Indiana

    Obviously Coach DeVries will have to prove himself and I honestly can’t answer your question because IU made 3 bad coaching hires in a row and I have no idea how this one is going to turn out. That said, DeVries doesn’t seem like a weirdo, which Clappy most certainly was. He seems to have an...

    Wilkerson to Indiana

    I'm an IU fan and I agree wholeheartedly. This was about cash and IU needed difference making players a lot more than UK does. They basically had to land Wilkerson. Depending on who IU adds going forward, DeVries' first team in Bloomington could be pretty interesting.

    Wilkerson ???

    Reneau was very good. He can't defend, but Reneau is one helluva scorer in the post. Why Mike Woodson is an imbecile is easy: He thought he could play both Oumar Ballo and Malik Reneau together and....he couldn't and every fan saw it (both Reneau and Ballo do not move from the lane and neither...

    Wilkerson ???

    You’re 100% correct that Mike Woodson is a terrible coach but he isn’t the reason Mgbako sucked. Mgbako sucked because he’s slow, is a terrible defender, can’t put the ball on the floor and he’s an awful passer. The bad attitude and lack of effort could have come from being on a bad team but...

    Wilkerson ???

    As an IU fan, I REALLY hope you guys land Mgbako. He isn’t gonna be the dude you think he will be.

    Rumor about Mgbako price?

    When Mgbako decommitted from Duke and picked IU over Kansas, I was over the moon. I thought the Hoosiers were going to get a true difference making 5 star talent. Dude was AWFUL for 80% of his freshman year. It was actually difficult to find anything he did particularly well. To be fair, he...

    Rumor about Mgbako price?

    I would be worried if UK landed Reneau. Reneau never had any coaching at IU (Woody was useless) but was still a hard working badass who was very tough to stop in the paint. At UK Reneau would have expanded his game with a quality coach like Pope who could have taught Malik how to play defense...

    Rumor about Mgbako price?

    He’s a DUDE alright. He’s a dude that can’t guard anybody, doesn’t move without the ball unless he feels like it, has the foot speed of Betty White, is about at athletic as a 65 year old with a knee replacement and will not be the shooter you hope he’ll be. You’ll see. I also question how much...
